A state of a black hole in loop quantum gravity is given by a distribution of spins on punctures on the horizon. The distribution is of the Boltzmann type, with the area playing the role of the energy. In investigations where the total area was kept approximately constant, there was a kind of thermal equilibrium between the spins which have the same analogue temperature and the entropy was proportional to the area. If the area is precisely fixed, however, multiple constraints appear, different spins have different analogue temperatures and the entropy is not strictly linear in the area, but is bounded by a linear rise.

  1. Gravitational wave constraints on corrections to Bekenstein-Hawking Area Formula in classical F(R) gravity and quantum GR : implications for theory parameters

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 2.0

    Assuming an extra 'absolute consistency' rule, gravitational-wave validation of the area theorem forces negative entropy corrections, which restricts F(R) gravity and would rule out two axions or an axion plus a graviton.
